Collect:
O GOD,
whose blessed Son was manifested that he might destroy the
works of the devil, and make us the sons of God, and heirs of
eternal life: Grant us, we beseech thee, that, having this
hope, we may purify ourselves, even as he is pure; that, when
he shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be
made like unto him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where
with thee, O Father, and thee, O Holy Ghost, he liveth and
reigneth, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
